Mechanical Engineering Technology

Learn to deal with power, and with the machinery used to convert power to useful work. Design machines and processes to generate and apply power to useful purposes.

Mechanical Engineering deals with power and the machinery used to convert power to useful work.

The mechanical engineering technician is a practically-oriented member of the engineering team who applies existing technology to the solution of engineering problems and designs machines and processes that generate and apply power to useful purposes. For example, a mechanical engineering technician may assist in the design of a power plant, testing of a space shuttle, manufacturing of a nuclear submarine or building of an aircraft carrier.

Note: The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program is highly sequenced. To complete the degree in two years, students are advised to complete the courses in the sequence listed beginning in the fall semester.
